This is a problem for about 20% of the population. Wonder if the folks at HHS thought about this?

The new federal health law which requires most Americans to carry health insurance starting in January presents a particular problem for those households, since most health plans accept a credit card for the first month’s premium payment and then require customers to pay monthly with a check or an electronic funds transfer from a checking account.The solution is simple.
